The entrance to the deep swamp was as muggy as it ever is, swarms of kricks flying around to bother those entering and trying to press far in. There though, in one of the most 'open' clearings, sits a trio of shady looking alligators... Familiar to those whom were hear last time, they are all clad in body concealing cloaks, and face obscuring hoods! Near them though, stands a single male crane, busy pruning his feathers as he looks around for a moment before checking a flier... Seems he was impatient today!
Natska makes her way through the swamp, a slight breeze wrapped around herself and keeping the kricks at bay. The jaguar nods at the familiar looking crane, then the alligators, and takes her spot to wait for the rest of the group to assemble.
Cassidy keeps herself close to Natska, sharing in the breeze to keep the pesky kricks away. "Is uh, everything alright?" She asks the crane, brow raising behind her mask. "You seem flustered. Is it that urgent?"
Cara rushes through the swamp, clad in more suitable attire for the mission. She manages to have little trouble with the kricks this time, no doubt thanks to the jaguar's help. The feline nods to the jaguar upon her arrival and takes out her staff. "Well, it's nice to see you here again, Natska." She shifts her gaze to the masked fennec and grins, "The same goes for you as well, Cassidy." The feline turns to face the crow and waits for further instructions.
With a few muttered curses about the stagnant smell and ugly looking vegetation, and a few more.. choice words in regards to the insects anouncing her arrival, Sara emerges from some thick set foliage just set off the general beaten path and looks expectantly around at the gathering, tired looking crimson eyes looking to the smattering of freeswords that had arrived before and greets each with a nod, "Natska, Cassidy.. good to see you both." she admits with a faint smile before looking to Cara and nodding her greeting. With that out of the way she looks then to the alligators and crane before looking again to the group and asking them, "That guy the client?"
Iorek follows in behind the others, the cloaked wolves red eyes darting around him at every noise he hears. Despite his best efforts to conceal it, he's obviously nervous, clutching a bow tighly in his paw. He nods to the others before looking over to the gators and the crane. "Um... Hi, Iorek... here about the contract."
"Yes, yes I am flustered. I lost two errand boys to attacks by these 'Ground Poppers', and I want them eradicated for waisting my perfectly good manpower. Now, we've found where they seem to originate from, and I want -ALL- of you to go and deal with them." The Crane is certainly snappy today! The Alligators look up at the group, their sharp and rather handsome features showing as they examine the group while the smallest of them speaks. "We can show you the cave, and we can all go in at once. We figure you guys will aid more if things dont kill you before the fight."
Natska inclines her head again to the alligator trio. "Ah! Thank you, that is thoughtful of you. I will do my best to not slow you down once the fighting starts." She smiles, sweetly, and then her shadow stretches out and rises up from the ground, coiling around the jaguar like a light mist as she gets ready to move further into the swamp.
Cassidy nods slowly, reaching up to adjust her top hat as a number of small, fiery orbs flicker into existence to surround her. "Mhmm. I'm not letting something grab me and pull me down again. I'd rather not have to go make an emergency change of clothes this time, if I can help it."
Cara raises her staff and grins, "Sweet! I get to whack the Poppers today." At the advice from the smallest of the alligators, the feline raises an eyebrow, "Why would they kill us this time? After all, there has to be a medic amongst us all. Although." The feline stops for a moment and her stance seems to become more firm as a faint glow emits from her arms. "I think I might be able to handle myself."
"Uhm.. ground poppers?" Sara asks, a little quaver in her voice, removing that earlier bluster from before, "Well.. considering I'd like to not die here, I'll go with your offer of assistance and be led to the cave you spoke of. Still.. before that, do you know what we'll be going up against? Numbers and the like, or is it more or less a mystery?" after giving her equipment a brief look over Sara nods inwardly and says, "Well.. no matter what, I think I'm good to go whenever all of you are."
Iorek nods along with what Sara is saying, something catches in his throat and he coughts "Oh, and um... anything anyone suggests foor tactics... ground poppers, so... burrowers?"
"They burrow under the ground, pop up, stick you with a barbed tongue, and try to pull you under... And as we're in a swamp, it's a little hard to -see- how many would be present." The crane idly fanning himself with a hand before sighing gently. "-Hopefully- you will be facing the queen, or spawner, or whatever it is. -That- should hopefully be too big to just burrow as easily as these things do... And at least none of you are -too- small."
The smallest Alligator shrugs once more, pointing to his accomplices. "We'll lead you to it when you're all ready, and we'll take care of any extras that show up. Just focus on the big guy or... Thing."
Natska looks over at Sara and grins. "Like... swamp toads. With giant, barbed tongues. But they pop easily." She nods. "Goog to have you with us by the way. You too, Cara." She glances around, then nods to Cass. "I'm sure we'll manage."
Cassidy nods at Sara, offering a little smile. "Yes! Nice to see you. It's been a while since I've see you in action," she says, lifting up off the ground with a bit of air magic, the tails of her coat flicking in the breeze as she hovers a foot or so off the groun.
Cara rolls her eyes for a moment and answers the wolf's question as well, "Yep, so long as you dodge the tongue, you should be fine.", The feline turns to the other reptile that isn't an alligator and smiles, "You must be an elemental dragon."
As the general description of the gound popppers comes up Sara nods inwardly and pulls a small blade seeming to be of eastern origin and admits, "Don't think barbed tounges would be that big a problem.. still, as I said I'm quite ready to see what the big toad looks like." followed by ".. and to get out of this damned swamp.." muttered under her breath. As question of her race comes up Sara looks to Cara and scratches at the back of her head, "I guess.. I can become one, but well.. I'm not exactly a dragon per-se. Just.. a strange looking lizard.." the last bit followed with an awkward chuckle at herself before turning her attention away from the feline in question.
Iorek puts his bow over his should and draws his dagger instead "Hmmm... if these things burrow... do they have eyes? ...Just trying to figure out if we can get an edge somehow..." looks around all his comerades, his tail dropping as he feels slightly out oof his depth.
